The Personal Assistance Console s telephone dialer is designed to conform to federal regulations, and it can be connected to most telephone lines. However, each telephone or telephone device that is connected to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. This is referred to as the device s ringer equivalence number, or RN. f more than one telephone or other device is connected to the same line, add up all the RNs. f the total is more than five, the telephones might not ring. n rural areas, a total RN of three might impair ringer operation. f ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.

7 Battery nformation General X0 Pendant Remotes are designed to operate for approximately two years when fitted with a 3V lithium cell. Since operating conditions vary from installation to installation however, it is recommended that all batteries are replaced once a year. Console Battery nformation Clearing Remotes from the Console f you suspect that a neighboring system is causing false alarms, or if you need to reinstall remotes for any other reason, you can clear all sensors and remotes from the console's memory by unplugging it and removing the battery. Note: You will need to reprogram telephone numbers and recorded message after doing this. Battery backup The battery in the console is used as a backup when there has been a power failure. The battery provides approx. 20 hours of backup time provided the alarm has not been triggered. While on battery backup, the console will continue to operate, and will sound the siren (if enabled) and dial out if the alarm is triggered. t will not, of course, flash the house lights or trigger Power Horn sirens. f both the AC supply and the battery fails, the console will no longer dial out or sound the siren, and will lose its telephone numbers and recorded message. Battery Replacement Batteries can be replaced at any time, even while the unit is powered up. There is no special procedure for battery replacement. Pendant Remote Battery Replacement Providing the battery has not already failed, it may be replaced with fresh batteries without the need to reinstall the remote provided the fresh battery is fitted within 30 seconds of removing the old one. Confirm that the remote is still logged in by pressing STOP and listening for the confirmation tone from the console. f there is no sound, the code has been lost and you will need to install the remote again. To replace the battery, remove the two screws and gently separate the two halves of the cabinet. Slide out the old battery and replace with a fresh 3V Lithium Cell (CR202). 2 3
